I really enjoyed my stay with Evan. I was able to leave my luggage at his place while I traveled around Thailand for 100 baht a week; which was wonderful to not have to take it to the jungle! Evan gives very detailed instructions on how to get to his place, where to check-in etc. and was fun to chat with.
The only "negative" I had was walking up however many flights of stairs for the top floor unit; which has a great view! --and Evan does say that there's no elevator so this isn't really a "negative", just the only not fun part of the stay. One just has to remember that they aren't staying in a hotel.
